Today I go into work midday through early evening. What to cook that can be prepared ahead and easily heated up by my husband? Joy Philbin's pasta with chicken and broccoli. This recipe appeared in Good Housekeeping Magazine back in 1993. Since it was originally published in 1993, I noticed that the recipe has been updated a bit. I haven't made it in awhile, so I thought it would be good for today's do ahead supper. It's one pan for the chicken and broccoli and a pot for the pasta.

thanksgiving planning

Thanksgiving is two weeks away and I've begun planning my dinner. My daughter will spend the holiday with her husband's family as will my son who will spend the holiday with his future in-laws. With just my husband and I home alone, I'll still make a Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us.

As I don't know my work schedule yet for Thanksgiving week, I already started my holiday food shopping. On the menu is Butternut Squash-Apple Soup, Great Grandma Freid's turkey dressing, hotel style turkey breast, sweet potatoes (I'm not sure on the preparation for those yet) and perhaps some Brussel sprouts. For dessert, pumpkin cheesecake crumble squares.

turkey fry saturday

Today my husband and I were invited to a turkey fry at my daughter's brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house Thanks to social media, I know that this is the tenth year of their turkey fry. Co-workers, family, friends, friends of friends, extended family members and surprise guest show up each year.

Last evening our host began brining four turkeys that he keeps chilled in four coolers. He told me that his brine mixture consists of water, sugar, some salt, low sodium soy sauce and a bay leaf.

He also injects his turkeys with his own hot sauce creation. The hot sauce ingredients include teriyaki sauce, lime juice, hot sauce and ground black pepper. I didn't see a measuring cup or measuring spoons, so it's safe to say that after all these years he has the proportions down pat. Also, he's discovered the spots on the turkey where the injection works bests. He fries the turkey
​3-1/2 minutes per pound. Today, he was frying four 20 pound birds. I must say the meat was moist and tasty. I had one piece where the hot sauce was concentrated in one spot of the meat.

I'm off from work today, so I decided to whip up a batch of pumpkin cranberry bread. I found this recipe in issue of Gourmet Magazine in November 1996. It's a quick making recipe, but instead of baking it in a loaf pan, I decided to make a dozen muffins instead. I baked the muffins for approximately 30-35 minutes at 350°. This recipe will make a great addition to your holiday table. Can you make them ahead and freeze for the holiday.
